Council Meeting - 14/04/2026

Council considered the Draft Operational Plan 2026/2027, which includes the Turnbull Oval project under the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants (WSIG) Program, resolving for it to be placed on public exhibition.

As part of the draft Operational Plan, Council is currently reviewing funding options within the Capital Works Program, including a proposal to reduce its financial contribution to the Turnbull Oval project, in order to achieve a balanced budget position. If this were to proceed and Council were successful in obtaining the necessary variations from the funding body, it would likely mean the project would be limited to a reduced scope of works for delivery.

While no final decision has been made, and the Operational Plan remains in draft, in parallel, the project team will engage with the NSW Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants program to explore potential options and to understand the implications of any required project variations should Council reduce the project's scope.

Any future refinements will be considered as part of this process and, where necessary, presented to Council at a future meeting.

The Draft Operational Plan is now on public exhibition, and the community is invited to provide feedback during this period.
